DOVER — The Fire Department has asked that residents help them shovel out hydrants in the City's neighborhoods.

Fire Chief Richard Driscoll said in a public statement that crews were out removing snow on Saturday, but due to heavy call volume, they were unable to get to many hydrants.

Four to six inches is expected to fall before midnight Saturday, only adding to the accumulations around the hydrants already. Driscoll said this will delay the timing on getting connected to the hydrant during a fire, while will ultimately lead to causing more damage.
